No, ‘Supergirl’ and ‘The Flash’ Won’t Be Crossing Over Anytime Soon

Regardless of network, any and all DC TV series spur talk of crossover potential from fans. The Flash arrived with its Arrow connection built in, but despite Supergirl’s CBS proximity to The CW, executive producer Greg Berlanti confirms that the universes will remain separate (for now, anyway).

The Flash star Grant Gustin and Supergirl heroine Melissa Benoist may appear side-by-side with Berlanti on the latest issue of Variety, though Berlanti defers to CBS boss Nina Tassler on the potential for a CW crossover. Tassler had previously suggestedSupergirl would be sticking to her own network, something Berlanti echoes in a new interview:

The network has said publicly at this point they’re going to keep her to themselves. I always approach the shows as a fan first, so I would love to see [a crossover]…I think in success, all things are possible. But there’s a lot that would have to happen before everybody might say yes to that.

Fun as it might be to see Supergirl or The Flash together one day, we’ll have to settle for Variety’s cover for now. Would the team-up be worth any potential continuity headaches? Rewatch the trailer below and judge for yourself.
